A new shul Tefilah L’Moshe was inaugurated in the Shaarey Tzedek chesed center in Moscow, Russia, to serve those who frequent the institution to receive financial aid and warm meals.
The ceremony in the Marina Roscha neighborhood included a limited number of participants due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The event took place on Tuesday, yartzeit of the Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh, of blessed memory. Participants committed to continue helping the poor even during the pandemic.
Russia’s Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar and Rabbi Mordechai Weisberg, Director of the Jewish community in Moscow, was present for the ceremony which began with Shachris davening.
Before davening, Rabbi Lazar helped a Bar Mitzvah boy to put on Tefillin. Shachris was followed by the recitation of a Maamar and singing by participants.
